My MF 1240 with 260 hours has been very good to me, but as of late the loader seems to be unable to lift a full load and will stop just before dumping. I changed the hydraulic fluid changed the filter and cleaned the other filter (which was caked with metal shavings). After that the loader speed was better but still having problems with lifting heavy loads and still hesitates before dumping. Any suggestions would be great. Jason

The seals in the controller and especially in the loader will eventually leak (causing those symptoms until the seals are replaced) but this should not happen before 2000, let alone 200 hours. I'd think the problem is related to those shavings. Did you save them for inspection by a hydraulics shop? ....
